The chapters of this title engage in the critical exploration of the tensions between structure and agency, and spotlight the institutional constraints these micro-level actors face in the enactment of multilingual education policy and planning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe contributors’ chapters provide case study examples of local actors responses towards policies at the micro-level when creating potential spaces for multilingual pedagogies and possible affirmation of multilingual identities. It also provides an analysis of how and why micro-level actors engage in the exercise of their agency, and what motives drive their responses. The volume serves as a challenge to, with the hope to change, the normative assumptions, pervasive postcolonial hierarchies, and hierarchical multilingualism in favour of more egalitarian and inclusive multilingual policies and practices, both within and outside, the classroom. More specifically, the volume shares significant developments occurring around the role of agency in negotiating the prevailing Anglophonic and Anglonormative trends and practices. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of value to researchers and postgraduate students working in the fields of language policy and planning, multilingualism and language education.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSyed Abdul Manan\u003c\/strong\u003e, PhD, is Associate Professor of Multilingual Education at Nazarbayev University Graduate School of Education, Kazakhstan.
